As expected, the government shutdown is hurting local tourism for historians.
The owner of one company has had to cancel about 18 tours. The Fredericksburg visitor center is directing people to other free places, including tours of downtown, the Fredericksburg Area Museum & Cultural Center and the Spotsylvania County Museum. In Stafford it's the White Oak Civil War Museum and the new Stafford Civil War Park.
